Celtics (2-0) at Magic (0-2) Round 1 Game 3 4/25/25

[Phantom255x]

How does a team with this much talent only have 15 points in 18 minutes of a half...

[keevsnick]

Jaylen was clearly fouled on that drive, Magic knocked him off his line with a shoulder forcing him to make a pass falling away.

[Who]

Jrue is so valuable against a team like Orlando. His superior size at guard and highly switchable. Ideal to have against a team with Banchero & F Wagner.

He has been a big loss.

[celticinorlando]

Going to be tied up coming back to Boston. This series is going 7.

13 points in the second half is middle school level.

[scaryjerry]

So this Mickey Mouse magic team has this vaunted of a defense huh?embarrassing

[Phantom255x]

BANG! 6 point game

[keevsnick]

As awful as the C's have played they are only down 6.

When has Boston played well in Orlando?

[Who]

There we go. Horford 3. 6pt game with 6min left.

Agreed.  He was absolutely key in the first two games.  His defensive versatility is invaluable.  And he gives us another reliable ballhandler, something we desperately needed this game.

[Phantom255x]

C's are also in the bonus

[celticinorlando]

And here is where the refs get the game ball for the Magic.

[Billz401]

Thank you Horford. Need to lock in on defense now

[jambr380]

For 2 games in this series, KP has been worthless

KP and Luke are awful against physical teams. At least we have Al, but it would be interesting to see Queta out there. Those offensive rebounds by Orlando this half are demoralizing

[Phantom255x]

I know the obvious answer is refs and physical ORL play, but Porzingis being 3-9 with 7 points against WCJ and this Magic team is pathetic. Yes Hauser has sucked too but KP is supposed to be the unicorn
